    Mahabharata and the Marvellous Cycle of Boons, Curses and Vows , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 308min
    A unique retelling that takes the listener far beyond the Kurukshetra war…Every person deviates from the path of righteousness in his lifetime, and for all these sins big or small, he has to pay - either during his present life or in some future rebirth. So, also, are his good deeds harvested. The cycle of Karma continues inexorably, far beyond our understanding....This book takes us beyond the familiar reading of the great epic, moving away from a chronological recounting of events, to focus on the greater scheme of things by which each of these incidents is linked in a causal relationship, and therefore, had to happen exactly the way they did. The story of Mahabharata unravels over aeons, spanning heaven, earth and hell; intricately weaving gods and demons, sages and humans, birth and rebirth all into one majestic tapestry through the law of Karma - whereby every action reaps its fruit at some point in time, no matter who the doer is. Erring gods are cursed by human sages, great demons earn boons from gods, ordinary folk earn blessings or curses, and gods take birth as humans when so ordained!Mahabharata and the Marvellous Cycle of Boons, Curses and Vows explores the complexity of the greatest epic of all time and takes the listener far beyond the story of the Kurukshetra war. ungekürzt.

When Graham Cavanaugh divorced his first wife, it was to marry his girlfriend, Audra, a woman as irrepressible as she is spontaneous and fun.

Graham isn't sure he understands why Audra longs to be friends with the woman he divorced. After all, former spouses are hard to categorize - are they enemies, old flames, or just people you know really, really well? And as Graham and Audra share dinners, holidays, and late glasses of wine with his first wife, he starts to wonder: how can anyone love two such different women? Did I make the right choice?

    Medea Complex: Infanticide, Filicide and the Murderous Mother: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 140 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min
    Since the beginning of time, mothers have always been portrayed as wholesome and nurturing. They are splashed upon our television screens. We enjoy watching them in movies. Some of us grow up with a wholesome and nurturing mother, while other children aren't so lucky. What causes some mothers to toss aside their inborn nurturing qualities in favor of sadistic and evil behavior? Anyone who deviates from the societal view of the self-sacrificing mother is thought to be self-centered, whorish, and lacking in femininity. Ironically, many of the mothers who are cast as 'evil' stepmothers in some of the Disney movies have evil and self-serving personality traits and motives. We love watching these 'evil' stepmothers in animation, but do these types of women truly exist in the real world? The answer is a resounding yes. Many of us hear of mothers who have had their children taken away due to abuse and neglect. Some of us mothers cringe at the very thought of our own children being removed from our care by Child Protective Services. It is far easier for one to understand how a mother could get into trouble for spanking or disciplining a child. Most of us could never even imagine going far enough to kill them. It seems that aggressive and cruel crimes are committed more often by men. However, there have been mothers who have 'snapped' or experienced psychotic breaks while caring for children. The story seems even more ghastly because we hear about mothers killing much less often than we hear about men committing gruesome crimes and murder. Despite there being more male serial killers, it always seems to amaze us when a woman is found guilty of murder. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tara Tyler.

    B" Is for Bullion: An Alpha Adventure, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 146min
    B Is for Bullion continues the series with a dangerous journey to recover a missing ship that's loaded with gold. When the ship disappears in the Sea of Okhotsk, Fiona's parole officer illegally releases her from prison so she and the Alpha Adventures team can locate and recover the missing gold. His stake in this case is personal. The catch is, the Alpha Adventurers have to act fast before anyone discovers that Fiona's on the lam. If they don't quickly succeed, she'll have to return to prison. With these high stakes, Travis worries that Savannah won't be working with him on this case. Instead, his two co-investigators are Fiona, a loose cannon with a penchant for trouble, and Thyri, who has a keen business mind, but no investigative skills. Travis knows he must be out of his mind to go on a mission with these ill-equipped Alpha Adventurers, but the payout for a successful recovery of the gold is a strong incentive to accompany them. The plan for infiltrating the tight security of the shipping company is that Travis, Thyri, and Fiona will pose as WSJ reporters. Their first stop is the Multimetal headquarters in the Russian port town of Magadan. When they arrive at the press conference, they compete with other reporters for interviews with the spokesperson of the company. However, useful information is not forthcoming. When Fiona unexpectedly deviates from the mission plan to do some covert environmental activism with a new acquaintance, Thyri, Travis, and a mysterious Russian woman named Bianca rush to retrieve Fiona from a remote site before she gets arrested again. Or worse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kerrie Seymour. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/052404/bk_acx0_052404_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Bones: An Alex Delaware Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 720min
    When it comes to writing deftly layered, tightly coiled novels of suspense, number one New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Kellerman reigns supreme as “master of the psychological thriller” (People). Kellerman has worked his magic again in this chilling masterpiece. The anonymous caller has an ominous tone and an unnerving message about something "real dead...buried in your marsh". The eco-volunteer on the other end of the phone thinks it's a prank, but when a young woman's body turns up in LA's Bird Marsh preserve, no one's laughing. And when the bones of more victims surface, homicide Detective Milo Sturgis realizes the city's under siege to an insidious killer. Milo's first move: calling in psychologist Alex Delaware.  The murdered women are prostitutes - except the most recent victim; a brilliant young musician from the East Coast, employed by a wealthy family to tutor a musical prodigy, Selena Bass seems out of place in the marsh's grim tableau.Conveniently - perhaps ominously - Selena's blueblood employers are nowhere to be found, and their estate's jittery caretaker raises hackles. But Milo's instincts and Alex's insight are too well-honed to settle for easy answers, even given the dark secrets in this troubled man's past. Their investigation unearths disturbing layers - about victims, potential victims, and suspects alike - plunging even deeper into the murky marsh's enigmatic depths.Bizarre details of the crimes suggest a devilish serial killer prowling LA's gritty streets. But when a new murder deviates from the pattern, derailing a possible profile, Alex and Milo must look beyond the suspicion of madness and consider an even more sinister mind at work. Answers don't come easy, but the darkest of drives and desires may fuel the most devious of foes.Bones is classic Kellerman - relentlessly peeling back the skin and psyches of its characters and revealing the shadows and sins of the souls beneat ungekürzt.
